Chandigarh November 30:
The Alternate Innovative Education (AIE) teachers reached Punjab Secretariat to meet with Education Minister Sewa Singh Sekhwan to press for their admission to the Elementary Teachers Training (ETT) course without any entrance test. When they did not find the Minister, they resorted to slogan shouting.
AIE president Swarna Devi said that they would go for further agitation if their proposed demands were not met. She said that on August 30, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal had promised them for the admission of the teachers who were to get relieved in 2010 but nothing has been done in this context yet.
Over two dozen AIE teachers had climbed on to the top of the 100-ft high water tank in Sangrur district on June 11 this year and with great difficulty they were persuaded to get down and came to the talking table.
